I have been trying to get an hour in on the treadmill but wanting to add some arm weights -- Am I better getting wrist weights? Or just grabbing some hand weights and mixing it up?

hand weights will effect your grip strength as well as your arms...wrist weights will leave your hands free to do whatever...0

Are you running or walking on the treadmill? If running; carrying weights will affect the way you hold your arms and ultimately your shoulders leading to fatigue and poor form. I would use the two separately.0

Just walking for now that is why I figured I would add a little something else0

Mix it up and concentrate on form.0

When I'm trying to torch some calories but don't feel like running on the treadmill, I crank that sucker up to at least 8% incline, set the speed to 4-4.3 mph, and grab my pink 3 lb. handweights. Doing this burns as many calories per mile for me as running.0
